The ability to faithfully replicate DNA is dependent upon the maintenance
and regulation of its precursors, the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates.
Enzymes encoded by the bacteriophage T4 have been widely used as models
of biochemical processes. A body of evidence supports the concept that the
bacteriophage T4 enzymes involved in deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis...
In his works, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Ulysses
(1922), James Joyce demonstrates what he perceives to be the paralyzing effects of
those institutionalized religions that sit at the center of cultures. Drawing on Michel
Foucault's analysis of institutional dressage as well as his...
Ireland's Catholic Church played an important role in the turn-of-the-century nationalism that shaped James Joyce's identity and writing; yet it also played an important part in preventing that nationalism from achieving its goals of autonomy and cultural independence. For Joyce, this was particularly evident in the dialects and
thought structures...
Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) depend on sagebrush habitat for food and cover during winter, yet few sage-grouse winter ecology studies have been conducted. During January and February 2007, we monitored 22 radio-collared sage-grouse (7 females and 15 males) in central Oregon to characterize winter habitat use and movement patterns. We...
This report presents biological baseline
information gathered during the research project,
"Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies on Youngs Bay." Youngs Bay is a shallow embayment
located on the south shore of the Columbia River,
near Astoria, Oregon. Nearby portions of the
Youngs River, Lewis and Clark River, Columbia
River, and...
Both development and post-structuralist anthropologists have
critiqued development. Development anthropologists are concerned
that development does not take adequate account of the social and
cultural factors of developing nations, while post structuralists question
the ontology of development and assert that domination over
developing nations is inherent in the concept of development....
Mechanisms by which plant organs accumulate
photoassimilate are important in determining final sink size
and may involve invertase activity. Because strawberry
fruit are strong sinks for sugars, changes in invertase
levels during development and mechanisms of sugar uptake
within the fruit were examined.
Fruit from greenhouse-grown, day-neutral strawberries,
(Fragaria X...
Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
Few studies have examined the acute effects of
resistive-type exercise on lipid-lipoprotein profiles. This
study examined the acute effects of a single session of
circuit weight training (CWT) on plasma lipid-lipoprotein
profiles: triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the ratio...
The performance of pull factors for total retail sales in Oregon's
nonmetropolitan counties during the economic cycle of boom, bust, and recovery
of the early 1980s is examined for geographic patterns. One regional pattern and
several county patterns are identified and discussed. Counties having the highest
and lowest pull factors,...
